SS-30OD Outdoor Safety Gate Installation Instructions

The Cardinal Gates Outdoor Pet Gate (Model SS30OD) is designed for maximum strength in outdoor settings. This hardware-mounted, aluminum pet gate has no plastic pieces to break or wear out and a powder-coated finish with stainless-steel hardware, ensuring that it is rustproof and weatherproof, making it the best pet gate on the market for outdoor use. Featuring a latch that allows for one handed operation, the Cardinal Gates Outdoor Pet Gate can be mounted at angles up to 30 degrees, allowing installation in unique areas and for mounting to offset deck posts. At 29.5″ tall, this gate is adjustable and able to close off openings from 27″ to 42.5″ out of the box, with optional 10.5” and 21.75” extensions (Models BX1 and BX2, sold separately) to increase the span up to a maximum of 64.25″. All necessary hardware for basic installation is included in the box. Available in either white, black, or brown, the Cardinal Gates Outdoor Pet Gate is hands down the best safety gate for keeping your pet safe and secure outdoors.

To Whom This May Concern,
This morning I called in to get replacement parts for one of your gates and I was telling the kind lady on the phone how much we have loved your gates. We have had your gates (2 of the SS-30A) for the last 7 years and only now am I seeking replacement parts. As a mom of 6 kids (ages 10 and under) I need something sturdy! The latches are difficult enough to protect the youngest while allowing the older children (5 and up) to still open them with ease! I recommend these gates as not only functional but standing up to the test of a family with 6 young children!

We love our Step Over Gate! It’s wonderful. We have the ‘natural’ model. We use our Step Over Gate to keep our dog out of one upstairs room. We just step over it but the dog can’t enter. It solves a problem and works perfectly. Because it’s easy to move, we sometimes use it on our front porch, too, to keep the dog on the porch. We’ll probably get a couple more. Thanks!

We have 3 model PG-35 Pet gates for use with our 100 lb. Chocolate Lab – Fender. We purchased them on line and received them and immediately put them to use, they were extremely easy to install and the ease of opening is such that we have become accustomed to them like opening a door. We are using the gates in a high traffic area, there is one at each archway entrance of the kitchen and one at the entrance of the family room stairs and have had no problems and the quality is excellent. We would recommend the purchase of this model to anyone who has pets and would definitely buy more if we needed them. Thank you for providing an excellent product.

I just wanted to send a note to thank you for the customized hearth guard. My new home has an oversized hearth which my children love to climb on. No standard guard would fit. Your man Ray, listened attentively to my problem and figured out a workable solution. It is now on my hearth and it works as well as I expected and looks just fine. Ray deserves some special credit for a job well done!

Thanks for a great product. Over the last year I’ve purchased 12 of your gates and I’m getting ready to buy #13 … For anyone who needs a solid, secure dog-gate that’s easy to use, this is the one they should buy. This gate is screwed into the doorway frame and it’s sturdy. It’s simply the best, easiest-to-use gate you will ever use … Thank you Cardinal Gates for making a terrific product!

I installed two of your Stairway Special Gates over seven and a half years ago and they are still working. Over that time, they have contained three children and our youngest (age 3) still can’t figure out the locking system. In this day of cheap plastic consumables, I felt a strong need to write a letter of thanks as your gates stood up to constant abuse of slamming and an occasional ride.

As we begin the removal of child safety products it’s interesting to note that only the Cardinal Gates and your Safety Drawer Latches remain. Another interesting point, these products have lasted longer than the recently replaced family minivan.

Just finished installing the gate I ordered. Fantastic, easy to install and it now will keep our dog from the one room we do not wish her to enter. Thanks for designing and manufacturing a superb quality product.
